Been brought up before but the amount of weight Matthew Perry has lost at the start of season 7 is ridiculous considering how it follows directly on from season 6

I might be recalling this incorrectly, but in the episode when it is revealed about Ross kissing Monica, it sounds very much like Ross was trying to force himself upon Rachel as Ross thought he was kissing Rachel when she had passed out

It's a bit harsh to criticise anyone losing weight between seasons though, although I believe Perry lost weight because of his drugs and drink problems, as opposed to just healthy living. Off topic, I remember when Kevin James lost some weight in between seasons when the King of Queens was on. They incorporated the weight loss into a storyline, where people were going crazy about how great he looked. It seemed a bit ridiculous to me, because James had pretty much just gone from being morbidly obese to just regular obese. He was still enormous, just less so than he was the previous season. By the final season, he was bigger than he ever was. |

In the sense that Chandler the character looks totally different whilst wearing the same clothes, I agree.

It's not a gripe to me, more of a curiosity - given that the set will be dressed, the actors dressed etc, I've always wondered why episodes of series like that - where the first is an immediate follow on from the last - aren't filmed when they're set up?

The Christmas trees is probably Phoebe's worst behaviour, when she is rewarded for not allowing Joey to do his job |

The rest of the list are also quite bad, but not as bad as these three. I wish we had more info on the stabbing a cop thing. I often wonder how much Phoebe exaggerated or even completely made up a lot about her past living on the streets. |

I agree, Matthew perrys weight is up and down throughout all the series due to his problems.
And i could say the same for Courtneys face as that changes towards the end Its changed more over the last few years though, thanks to all the botox and work shes had done.! |

This is a bit of a bitchy gripe, but here goes.
In the one where the guys are making their freebie lists of celebrities to sleep with, Ross includes Isabella Rossellini. Now I'm a straight woman, and the outfit Isabella was wearing wasn't exactly flattering in the episode, so I'm not exactly the right person to judge, but she doesn't look anywhere near as attractive as the main three women in the show. I guess that's a problem when tv shows cast really beautiful women for the main cast but then have scenes where guys talk about hot women as the regular cast are a bunch of uggos. For example, I couldn't see why Molly the babysitter was supposed to be so much hotter. |

I think Isabella Rossellini was attractive when she was younger, but she looked alot older in the friends episode and I agree the outfit she was wearing was hideous

Yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to say she was unattractive or that objectifying women is a great thing we should all be doing, but literally the point of that game is to pick people you find sexy enough to cheat on your other halves with, so dressing her in a massive ugly blazer just seemed like a poor costume choice.

That episode where Joey and Rachel keep kissing, the sound of them making out makes me want to puke, the whole story line was annoying to be honest and the only thing I disliked about Friends.

I'm being really petty about this one, but I love how Ross and Rachel just impulsively decide to take a cab to Massapequa for Jack and Judy's anniversary party. That's an hour away from Greenwich Village and must've cost a fortune lol.

They look at the cheques and are always blown away by the amounts etc, but I think that $800 between them isn’t an overwhelming amount given the circumstances. I’m just going off hearsay because I’m British, but I have heard of Americans giving very expensive and generous gifts for weddings, and Jack and Judy seem to move in upper-middle class circles (Jack had the Porsche, they have a beach house etc). My family certainly aren’t like that, but my sister still got cheques for £200 from family friends for the wedding and was very shocked! It always just jarred with me slightly that they were looking at the cheques with amazement when in the end it only came to a few hundred each. (not judging the amounts at all by the way! whatever people are generous enough to give is always greatfully received by me!) |
